Transporter 2 is a 2005 action film directed by Louis Leterrier and produced by Luc Besson. It is the sequel to The Transporter (2002). It is itself followed by Transporter 3 (2008).
Jason Statham returns as Frank Martin, a professional "transporter" who delivers packages without questions. Set in Miami, Florida, he chauffeurs a young boy who is soon kidnapped. Frank tries to save the boy. The film also stars Jason Flemyng, who previously worked with Jason Statham in the films Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch.
In a special to the LA Times on the same day as the movie's US release, Director Louis Leterrier stated that Frank Martin was "the first gay action movie hero", suggesting that the character comes out when he refuses a woman's advances by saying, "It's because of who I am."[2[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transporter_2#cite_note-LA_Times-1|]]]
Three days after the US theatrical release of Transporter 3, in which Frank Martin develops a heterosexual relationship, the writer of Leterrier's 2005 interview with the Times e-mailed Leterrier about his opinion of the third movie, which he did not direct. Leterrier seemed to backtrack, stating that after re-watching his first two movies, "they aren't that gay".[3[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transporter_2#cite_note-2|]]]
